Avatar released Hunter Gatherer in 2020 and it looks like a new album isn’t far behind. Today the band dropped videos for 2 new songs. The first is a track called “Going Hunting” which comes complete with a black & white video that features a giant bug. The second is a heavier track called “Barren Cloth Mother.” Both videos can be seen below.
Avatar have also signed with a new label called Thirty Tigers. The band said of the venture:
“Since the early ’60s, Swedish children have grown up reading Lee Falk’s ‘The Phantom.’ According to legend, The Phantom has the strength of 10 tigers. Thus, Avatar now has the strength of three Phantoms and are therefore finally unstoppable. Thirty Tigers are innovators and we are very excited to have signed with them. It’s good to work with such forward-thinking people who truly understand what it means to be an artist in this millennium.”
“This calls for a celebration, so to commemorate this occasion, and the tour we’re just about to embark on, we’ve chosen to tear up some eardrums with ‘Going Hunting’ and ‘Barren Cloth Mother’. Both songs tell about inner and outer darkness in their own ways. We keep sailing over dark oceans, staring down into the abyss. These songs, as great as they are, are just a taste of what’s yet to come.”
Avatar begin their Fall tour today in New York with plans to make a stop at The Sylvee in Madison on September 17th.
